What are people buying?

But ................ before Easter!

It was probably a dumb idea for me to buy it... going to mean increasing my 15mm forces...

No. Monday is now now. Being married to a Saffer you should know this.

I recently bought a bundle of 28mm Normandy prepainted buildings from Empires at War. This is the first one I’ve built and costs about £11. Which is a fraction of the 4Ground cost. Fantastic value for money, really thick mdf (4mm?). Super impressed with them

Nice work on the dormers. I always struggle to get them straight.

What are people doing for the cobble street bases?

I've done it. Hope this gives me mojo for some WWII painting.

If 2D mats or papers don't do it for you you have a few options.

Embossed Wallpapers can be good as their thickness means that they're good for lay on terrain.

Otherwise there are plenty of resin cast streets out there, at a cost. I've got some of the "slugworks" ones.

If you have the inclination to do terrain tiles or even a base tile for your town/village then embossed blue foam is an option. 10mm thick with a chamfered edge would probably work for a village base, if you can't face full modular tiles

All good suggestions. I’m using a 2D mat at the moment but want to graduate onto blue foam sculpted with Green Stuff World rolling pin:

Mind you, embossed wallpaper might be a good alternative, I’ve been using it as brick paper for buildings with some satisfaction and there’s a few options that would be good for roads:

If you're doing a lot, the rollers are worth the investment.
If you just want an inch or so to edge your building bases they might not be so cost effective? (Although I have seen people make their own with a suitable bit of pipe or dowel and a dremel!)
